Don't waste time with the guy

grin Albghadadi is a fake Christian until he is able to prove that Jesus died for mankind grin

The guy ran from the other thread when he disown his own Lord and Savior by not been able to prove he died for man's salvation. Don't mind all of them running mouth here jharey
Have you gone mad?

Where did I disown Jesus or say He didn't die for mankind? Is it not you JW that say he didn't resurrect bodily?

Which bible verse says you should stop communicating with someone disfellowshiped?

Your act of shunning a disfellowhisped person has led to families being torn apart. Many are still JW today because of the fear of being shunned by their families.
Jesus said He has come to cause a division! Can you defend His statement found at (Matthew 10:34,35) Perhaps JWs are torning families apart according to our man-made doctrine, please how come Jesus said He will do the same thing? Please explain what He meant and the "practical applications" thereof.

We are Christians for the following reasons:
We try to follow closely the teachings and behavior of Jesus Christ.— 1 Peter 2:21 .
We believe that Jesus is the key to salvation, that “there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.”— Acts 4:12 .
When people become Jehovah’s Witnesses, they are baptized in the name of Jesus.— Matthew 28:18, 19 .
We offer our prayers in Jesus’ name.—
John 15:16 .
We believe that Jesus is the Head, or the one appointed to have authority, over every man.— 1 Corinthians 11:3 .
However, in a number of ways, we are different from other religious groups that are called Christian. For example, we believe that the Bible teaches that Jesus is the Son of God, not part of a Trinity. ( Mark 12:29 ) We do not believe that the soul is immortal, that there is any basis in Scripture for saying that God tortures people in an everlasting hell, or that those who take the lead in religious activities should have titles that elevate them above others.— Ecclesiastes 9:5; Ezekiel 18:4; Matthew 23:8-10 .

The division Jesus was talking about is the type where your daughter wants you to help her carry out abortion, which is wrong. As a Christian, you are to say no. That can make your daughter hate you and stay away from you, which will still be fine by you because you are still in obedience to Jesus. Your rejection of your daughter's sinful request has brought division between you two.

The division practiced by the JW is quite different. You disfellowship and excommunicate anyone member who goes against GB even when the person is still a Christian. A father kicks out his daughter and stops talking to her for questioning GB.

True Christians will never stop talking to you even if you stop being Christian.

Why Are We Called Jehovah Witnesses
Jesus Christ Many people think that Jehovah’s Witnesses is the name of a new religion. However, over 2,700 years ago, the servants of the only true God were described as his “witnesses.” ( Isaiah 43:10-12 ) Until 1931, we were known as Bible Students. Why did we adopt the name Jehovah’s Witnesses?
1.It identifies our God.
According to ancient manuscripts, God’s name, Jehovah, appears thousands of times in the Bible. In many translations this name has been replaced by titles, such as Lord or God. Yet, the true God had revealed himself to Moses by his personal name, Jehovah, saying: “This is my name forever.” ( Exodus 3:15 ) In this way, he distinguished himself from all false gods. We are proud to bear God’s holy name.
2.It describes our mission. A long line of ancient people, beginning with the righteous man Abel, bore witness about their faith in Jehovah. Throughout the centuries, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, David, and others joined this “great cloud of witnesses.” ( Hebrews 11:4–12:1 ) Just as an individual may bear witness in court in behalf of an innocent person, we are determined to make known the truth about our God.
We are imitating Jesus. The Bible calls him “the faithful and true witness.” ( Revelation 3:14 ) Jesus himself said that he ‘made God’s name known’ and kept ‘bearing witness to the truth’ about God. ( John 17:26; 18:37 ) Christ’s genuine followers must, therefore, bear Jehovah’s name and make it known. This is what Jehovah’s Witnesses are endeavoring to do.

What does it mean to be baptized “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit”?
Jesus said that his disciples would be baptized “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit.” ( Matthew 28:19 ) This means that a baptism candidate recognizes the authority of Jehovah God and of Jesus Christ. ( Psalm 83:18; Matthew 28:18 ) He also recognizes the function and activity of God’s holy spirit, or active force.​—

Hmmmmmmmmmm practical applications indeed. But please is the son also trying to abort a pregnancy so that Jesus was able to turn him against his father?

( John 17:26; 18:37 ) Christ’s genuine followers must, therefore, bear Jehovah’s name and make it known. This is what Jehovah’s Witnesses are endeavoring to do.

Just for reading sake.......


You will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and to the most distant parts of the earth.Acts 1:8

By what right, then, do men who claim to be footstep followers of God’s Son select a name which does not even bear witness to the Christ?How do they justify choosing a name that reaches back some 700 years before his appearance as the Messiah, back to words spoken to the Jewish people under the Law Covenant?

The major justification resorted to in 1931 and thereafter has been that there is no longer anything distinctive about the name “Christian.” That name has been used by hundreds of millions of persons throughout the world, divided into hundreds of different denominations and sects. What, however, does the adoption of a different name prove or accomplish?


It simply follows the pattern of those same hundreds of denominations. Each of them has done the same thing—they have all adopted a distinctive name as Roman Catholics, Orthodox Catholics, Marionite Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Baptists, Church of Christ, Church of God, Mennonites, Society of Friends and so forth.

That not all who subsequently took the name “Christian” truly were such is evident. Christ Jesus warned of apostasy in his parable of the wheat and the weeds. The apostle Paul, who was known as a “Christian,” echoed that warning in his writings. In the Revelation, the apostle John laid bare the impure adulterated state already existing in some congregations in his day. It was clearly recognized that there would be false Christians, many of them. But neither Christ nor Paul nor John nor any of the Bible writers indicated that a change of name would in any way remedy the situation.


It was not by the adoption of some different name, a new label as it were, but by means of a life course that exemplified genuine Christianity and by means of adherence to truth as found in the teachings of God’s Son and his apostles and disciples that the only meaningful distinction could be made. When the angels of God carry out the final part of the parabolic picture in effecting the harvest of the wheat from the weeds, labels in the form of denominational names surely will play no part.

The same is true of the use of the name “Jehovah.” No matter how often individuals, or an organization of people, may voice that literal name (claiming a special righteousness by their repeated use of such name), if they do not genuinely reflect, in attitude, conduct and practice, what the Person himself is like—His qualities, ways and standards—then they have not truly come to “know his name” in the Scriptural sense. They do not really know the person or personality represented by the Tetragrammaton. Use of that name would then amount to no more than lip service.



If they claim to speak “in his name” yet misrepresent what He himself states in his own Word, or make false predictions “in his name,” or devise and impose unscriptural legislation and rules “in his name,” or make unjust judgments and condemnations “in his name,” then they have, in effect, “taken his name in vain.” They have acted in a way that neither has his authorization, nor reflects his qualities and standards and what He himself is as a Person.


Note: ELDERS within the organization of Jehovah's witnesses are not in same class with the PUBLISHER even the PIONEERS. There are POSITIONS within the organization that adherents occupy which ELEVATES one member from the other. IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW.

I don't need to give further explanation on that. As far it is called an ORGANIZATION, Baba, HIERARCHY must dey. Forget those BOBO things. Shine your eyes wella.
When you watch JW broadcasting and one of the governing body is introduced why don't they just write Brother Geoffrey Jackson ordinarily and leave it like that. Instead they write Geoffrey Jackson and underneath the name this follows....member of the Governing Body/helper to the service committee. Are these note a titles? Forget those packaging things and BOBO.

You never here or read about THEOCRACY as it applies within the Jw.org. It is termed rulership from TOP to BOTTOM. Oga who dey TOP who dey BOTTOM? Ask those taking the lead in your congregation dem go tell you.

Please tell me what a Christian should do when you knock on a door and the householder said "i'm a Muslim or Buddhist"? Should he walk away?

Bringing back old arguments? Haaaaaaaaa to me i'm not "arguing" because you're demanding for the reason of my faith and i've been trying to tell you the "practical applications" of my beliefs in God's word. You're the one saying Christians ought not to speak or greet faithfuls from other religious groups because they're "bringing another doctrine". So i want to learn from you how Christians should preach and teach in their neighborhood today, because back in the first century Christians do go from house to house preaching indiscriminately. And it was the Jews who are holding onto the old traditions that do criticize even persecute them. That's why i want to learn from you the practical applications of what Jesus said when He ordered His followers to go and preach because He never said "don't greet or talk to people bringing another doctrine" as that could mean not preaching at all since people do practice one religion or the other and they'll try to defend their faith.
The Verse didn't say we shouldn't greet a non-christian. If so, then how are we suppose to preach to them? It only says not to greet someone who has brought a different doctrine. Which means when someone brings Islam or JW doctrine to you, disregard him, don't even greet or welcome him.

But when you set out to preach and you come across people of that kind, preach to them because they are the reason Jesus died.

al,whose gospel did Jesus preach? Is it the same gospel that U ,alBHAGDADI is preaching?

What is the gospel of Jesus Christ, which Paul referred to in Galatians 1:8?
"Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God..." Mark 1:14,15.

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a WITNESS to all the nations, and then the end will come" Matt 24:14.


Is Jesus a witness for Jehovah? Rev3:14. Yes.

Are Christ followers (Christians) witnesses of Jehovah? Acts 22:4,9,20. Yes !

This is where you got it wrong! Matt 24:14 means that the gospel will be preached everywhere as a witness, an evidence, a proof. Jesus Christ is the witness. You can't claim to acknowledge Jehovah when you don't acknowledge the only source to Him, Jesus.

I'm sorry Sir/Ma if my comments got you enraged.

So i'll advise you to contact my brothers or sisters in your neighborhood for scriptural principles and more explanations regarding the topic. Thanks and God bless you!

Yes, He instructed us all to do that, that's why He sent His Holy Ghost as our teacher to teach us on what we should say but all what you people do is to learn how to preach the gospel from a physical man.

Because JWs may not be saying the common slogan "Jesus is Lord"(Matthew 7:21-23) but every aspect of the religion depicts what Jesus commanded His followers to "keep doing".Matthew 7:24,25 Jesus is the faithful and true witness of someone greater which is Jehovah. Revelations 1:5 And He prayed that the name of that greater person be made known by no other means than through the preachers and teachers acting in line with Jesus' instructions. Matthew 6:9, John 17:26 So baptizing faithfuls in the name of the father and son and of the Holy Spirit(Matthew 28:19) could appropriately means: teaching them about Jehovah, Jesus and the holy spirit,since most gentiles don't even know the name of the God of Israel which they must call upon to be saved. Joel 2:32 ,Romans 10:13 But as for Jews(Israelites) they're already familiar with the name of their God and know the works of HIS Holy Spirit, it's only about Jesus that they're ignorant that's why Peter asked them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ(Act 2:38) because (they must know all the instructions from this only begotten son of Jehovah)

He instructed "all to do that" but why is it that throughout the world it's only JWs that are known for zealously doing it in their neighborhood

There are many Christians out there who evangelise and win lost souls. It's not only from door-to-door, it can be also on the streets.

You people claim to be the only true worshippers but are devoid of the Holy Ghost. Many of your members are nothing to write home about. There's nothing like a group or an organisation being true worshippers or righteous. It is an individual thing.

Why should you go against the principle? There's no one who can claim to worship Jehovah if he doesn't go through Jesus. The only source to the Father is through the Son.

Meanwhile acholadey, you can continue using different usernames facelessly criticizing Jehovah's organization. We're Jehovah's witnesses and that's our group name even though you are worshipping with US in disguise as an Apostate. We're not pleased to be called in the same group name with those hypocritically deceiving themselves that they're worshipping one God when it's obvious that they're not. Jehovah is our God, Jesus is our teacher and the governing body is the dispenser through which Jesus is dishing out the spiritual food for US in this last days. If you're not in agreement with that, I believe you can try any other religious group instead of tormenting yourself amongst those with whom you totally disagree in beliefs.
How do you know if he using a different username? Stop making a claim you cannot prove. Are you a kid?

Hmmmmmmmmmm well if it's truly an individual thing then Jesus wouldn't have chosen 12 as Apostles to oversee the coming multitude that will later become His followers. Act 2:42 Because under such an "individual" arrangement,there won't be a central GOVERNING BODY controlling the worldwide group called Christians. undecided undecided undecided And as for members with questionable lifestyles,that's why Christians were admonished to continue meeting together for the sake of encouraging one another in continuing with the fine works(Hebrews 10:24,25) they've learnt from Christ since they were not born with holiness but trying to put on a NEW PERSONALITY. Ephesian 4:24, Colossians 3:10 As they keep up been with the organization, they're washing their robes(old personality) in the blood of the lamb. Revelations 22:14
